Its a remake of the Chinese movie "Infernal Affairs" which is one of the favourites, in case you didn't know. I was sceptical when it was announced as most Western remakes fail to live up to the originals, however I've heard nothing but great things about it so I'm really looking forward to it. Going up to watch it with some mates during the week I think.

I wondered whether I'm a splatter movie fan deep inside but it turned out not to be the case. I like to watch this kind of movies once to know what people are talking about but ... too much bowels and the like.

Well I divided my time in Boston between watching movies at the theatre, drinking in bars while old guys played bagpipes and horse drawn carriages clip-clopped their way down the cobblestone streets, and watching HBO on Demand.
I watched:
1. Jackass 2 - If you liked the first, you'll like this one.
2. The Departed - Some really great characters, a story that doesn't sag or lose momentum, and DiCaprio/Damon are a pretty powerful 1-2 punch.
3. Money Train - Nothing stops the money train.
4. Good Will Hunting - I first saw this movie years ago when I was too young to appreciate it. Despite being everyone's favorite movie... it deserves that dubious honor. I loved it.

Just got back from seeing The Departed, and like everybody else, I thought it was ace
" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> That said, there were elements I felt were handled better in Infernal Affairs, and some of the changes didn't sit too well with me. My friend who had seen both preferred The Departed and I can certainly appreciate why, but I guess I'm just too fond of the characters and actors in the original movie.
Anyone else seen both and like to share their thoughts on the two?

IMHO the best movie of recent years. I was surprised! Even if you've read the novel. The story starts weird, then gets weirder and ends absolutely insane. Full of memorable moments and unusual themes. From the director of "Lola rennt", I noticed.
My favourite movie since Eternal Sunshine!

Watched The Prestige. Good movie, nice ending, overall a darker movie than I expected.
Also, on the drive home in the dark I was passing a car on a 2 lane backcountry road when the gas pedal got jammed and stuck to the floor.
After about 5 seconds of paniced acceleration on a winding road I shifted it into neutral, pulled over, and then reached down and yanked the pedal up.
f**king unnerving.

If by interesting you mean boring and stupid and crappy, yes you're absolutely right.

I watched a ski/snowboard film by Teton Gravity Research called Anomaly. It just came out a week ago. Some crazy stuff but my favorite had to be the runs they did in Japan. They just took a jeep around the highways, and any mountains they liked the look of they hiked up and rode down. Some really pretty shots that are like nothing you'll ever seen in a ski film, because all the terrain is so uniquely Japanese.
Some really good songs in it too. Unfortunately I don't have excel on this computer so I can't see the tracklistings. If anyone does have excel, I'd really appreciate them copying and pasting the tracklists from this excel list.

I just watched Garden State (which has probably already been mentioned, but I can't be bothered to trawl through 160-odd pages!) and it's immediately gone on my favourite films list. IMHO, Zach Braff is a genius. Not exactly a stuff-blows-up sort of film, but enjoyable with some dark comedy.

I just watched two movies for my Film History class.
Trouble in Paradise was soporific.
Stagecoach was great. John Wayne!
